Mozilla today rolled out Firefox 34. While most browser updates these days aren’t all that exciting, this one includes a couple of interesting new features. What most users in North America will notice right off the bat, however, is that this is the first version of Firefox with Yahoo as its default search experience.

It’s easy enough to change the default search engine in Firefox, and I would guess that most current users will quickly switch back to Google. The Yahoo Search experience, which the company specifically tweaked for Firefox users, is perfectly all right for most searches. But at the end of the day, it feels like it doesn’t have some of Google’s smarts, especially when it comes to queries that would usually trigger Google’s Knowledge Graph.

I use duckduckgo.com for most searches and revert to google for the odd chore. Quite happy with FF and don't see it "falling into the abyss" at all. I use it for most of my browsing. I keep Chrome for news-reading etc and have it set to save... nothing.

I've had my FF search box set to Wikipedia for ages.
When I downloaded the v.34 update, the search box remained set to Wikipedia.
When I looked at the choices for search engines, all that was listed was Amazon, Ebay, Wikipedia and DuckDuckGo.
Yahoo as an option was/is nowhere to be seen.

Firefox 34 Launches With Yahoo As Its Default Search Engine

Search Engine ?Hello,
Is there a free, or inexpensive, search engine that will search the text in the documents in all my files, and not just by file name ?
In other words, literally searching every text word on PC, wherever it might be, looking for a match.
Thanks,
Bob

Firefox Search EngineI have used Google Toolbar on Firefox for a couple of years. I got a Firefox Update today and Google is no longer compatible with Firefox. I have tried a few other search engines like Bing and they are also not compatible. What Search Engine Toolbar do you have on Firefox? Thanks,

Browsers & Mail

Changing Search Engine in FireFoxFireFox 10, automatically uses Bing, when typing something in the address bar for searching ? I searched FireFox site and came across the about:config, I can't find any option within the configuration file or the options within the program ?

can't select any other search engine as the defaultI installed Windows Live Essentials a couple of weeks ago.
It set my default search to Windows Live search. I wanted to reset the default to my usual Google but this program had hijacked my browser and would not allow me select any other search engine as the default.
Does anyone know how to stop...
